The first edition of Florida's Living Beaches (2007) was widely praised. Now, the second edition of this supremely comprehensive guide has even more to satisfy the curious beachcomber, including expanded content and additional accounts with more than 1800 full-color photographs, maps, and illustrations. It heralds the living things and metaphorical life along the state's 700 miles of sandy beaches. The expanded second edition now identifies and explains over 1400 curiosities, with lavishly illustrated accounts organized into Beach Features, Beach Animals, Beach Plants, Beach Minerals, and Hand of Man.

It is well organized, beautifully illustrated, and informative. I especially love how each creature highlighted - whether it be a shellfish, a bird, or a plant - receives a full page of information that includes several pictures in various states. This is invaluable, for example, with birds that have different coloring for gender or season.
I have already used this handy reference to identify a bird I saw at the beach (Western Willet) and to learn more about birds that frequent my yard (White Ibis).
Helpful sections in this book include (among many other amazing sections):
- Beach Features
- Fish
- Birds
- Land Mammals
- Marine Mammals
- Dune Plants
- Marine Plants
Highly recommend this to anyone looking to learn more about the world around them in the beautiful Sunshine State. (
